Rohloff S-L-T 99
BikeRadar verdict
"An all-time favourite worth paying for"
Precision manufactured in Germany, Rohloff chains have a highly deserved reputation for quality and durability.
Available in 8 and 9 speed versions it's the chain others should be judged by, check out their website to see how seriously they take this chain. Silver Nickle plated, the chain features specifically designed trichoidal rivets to improve wear. Shifting is always silent and smooth. It really is an excellent chain, it's just a shame there's no 10-speed version.
Manufacturers description
With its patented Super-Link-Technology and its high quality materials the Rohloff S-L-T 99, used by professionals and amateurs, for racing and leisure, is the ideal chain to cope with the great strains imposed by cycling today. It runs smoothly and dependably in combination with all 8- and 9-speed gear shifting systems, even under extreme conditions. With the new, more technically advanced drivetrain developments, chains, chainrings and cassettes now last substantially longer, reducing the overall costs. The Rohloff S-L-T 99 is the perfect complement to all transmission systems. << MAXIMUM DURABILITY >> Super-Link-Technology, the best materials and the experience of thousands of kilometres in the roughest conditions make the Rohloff S-L-T 99 the most durable chain available. << LIGHT, BUT EXTREMELY STRONG >> At 278 g (100 links) the Rohloff S-L-T 99 is not only one of the lightest chains but because of its Super-Link- Technology it is the strongest in its class. << SPROCKETS AND CHAIN RINGS LAST LONGER >> The large contact areas in the links (due to the Super-Link-Technology) almost eliminate chain elongation. This reduces the wear of the whole drive train, especially under heavy load. << PERFECT GEAR SHIFTING >> Its unbeaten sideways flexibility ensures silent running and soft gear shifting. Even radical shifting manoeuvres or extreme diagonal running are possible with the Rohloff S-L-T 99. << SUPER NARROW >> The 6.8mm width the road 9-speed version makes the Rohloff S-L-T 99 one of the narrowest chains available. Pentagonal riveted pins mean maximum safety for extreme shifting manoeuvres. To be fully compatible with Shimano-IG cassettes, the width of the Road 8-speed, ATB SH and the Trial-chain is 7,1 mm. << FULLY COMPATIBLE >> All Rohloff S-L-T 99 chains operate precisely and flawlessly, shifting quickly and almost silently on all modern derailleur shifting systems. The 8-speed road, ATB and the Trial are fully compatible with Shimano HG and IG systems. << GUARANTEED QUALITY >> The Rohloff S-L-T 99 is produced in Germany with the highest technology. Every chain is thoroughly inspected before it leaves our factory.Shopping partners
